Looks like we left Kalifornia just in time

I keep checking the OC Register every day for interesting headlines from my former home, and am sometimes rewarded with head-shaking chuckles that make me glad we're gone from that place.

proposed legislation by San Francisco Bay Area Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-Mountain View, that would make it a crime to spank a child younger than 4. The penalty: up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Wow. Criminalize spanking. Just.... wow. What's next, a minimum allowance?
